Dress

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The dress is a full, long-sleeved gown made of a lightweight fabric, possibly silk or cotton. The dress is cream-colored with a high neckline and buttons down the back. The sleeves are long and puffy, with a slight puff at the shoulder. The waist is defined with a gathered section. The skirt is full and falls to the floor. There are two horizontal purple stripes around the bottom of the skirt, with a repeating pattern of gray, elongated shapes between them. The dress is displayed on a white mannequin with white gloves. The background is a plain off-white color. The dress is by an unknown artist.
